“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Wednesday; October 1, 2008

          After struggling with some ailments, I gave up running and started biking this summer.  You know what, they are right when they say “It’s like riding a bike”.  After years of being a pedestrian, bike-riding came back easily.  What didn’t come so easy; though, was riding without my hands on the handlebars.  I tried it – briefly – but, I just couldn’t do it.  While part of it might be a lack of balance, a good part of it was the awareness that I break easier than I used to and the fear of that happening.

         Often we deride fear; but, it can be a positive.  Fear of failure, encourages us to prepare.  Fear of getting caught makes us think twice.  Fear of embarrassment causes us to work harder.  The fear of the wrath of God can keep us on the straight-and-narrow.

         A life consumed by fear can be a terrible existence; but, one seasoned with it can be better.  What do we fear?  Should we be afraid of anything else?

         Think about it!  For the Madison Avenue Church of Christ; this is Charlie Wharton.
